What does blackTouch smell like?

The opening is led by bergamot, grapefruit, cardamom and spices. In the heart, geranium leaf sits with orange blossom, jasmine and magnolia, adding a soft floral touch. The base is dominated by vetiver, cedar and patchouli, with musk and vanilla sweetening the woods slightly.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by winter and spring, and the perfume leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure. It reads masculine and classic. Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and Pascal Morabito Bois & Vetiver have a close profile.
